Working With Student iPads

Student FAQ site: Teach students to help themselves! This FAQ icon shows up on student iPads. It looks like an app but it opens the student FAQ support website.

Student Self Service: Students install their own apps from Self Service. This app is automatically downloaded on every iPad. They do not have access to the Apple App Store. Staff do have access to the App Store.

Apple Classroom: Helps you with Classroom management. You can observe students while they work on their iPads and even restrict them to specific apps.

Jamf Teacher: A more advanced tool intended for secondary grades, allows you to highly restrict where students can go online. Jamf Teacher is available to download in Self Service only for staff.

Restricting iPad use: If students have trouble managing their iPad use, teachers/admin can set Screen Time restrictions on individual iPads.

Synergy: Lets you email your class all at once.

Canvas: Web-based Learning Management System for secondary grades. A "How to Canvas for Teachers" course is available.

Notability: Powerful, yet simple note-taking and PDF annotation that's available to download from Self Service for K-12 students and staff for free.

Tier 1 Support: There is a support person in every school that students can go to when they have technical issues, usually located in the library. Teachers can send students to this person for help. Teachers may also view the Tier 1 Support site and the Student FAQs to learn more troubleshooting tips!
